• The ticket sales were disastrous this week - it was the first time they've dipped below the £1m mark. If the fall in sales continues, Vernons will have to seriously consider scrapping Easy Play.
• Draw specialists Gillingham were at it again today - their 5th Easy Play score draw in 8 weeks !
• Prizes won in this draw must be claimed within 180 days i.e. by 11.00pm BST on Thursday 1st April 1999.
